Solution<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n

To solve this issue, and make the fix permanent every time I login into my account I decided to use the LaunchAgent features.
More information about LaunchAgent can be found in “Daemons and Services Programming Guide<\/a>” and in “Script management with launchd in Terminal on Mac<\/a>” as well.<\/p>\n

Let’s see below how to run the script when our user logon.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Let’s start, creating the folder where to place the script to run. In my case I decide to create a new “.lm_scripts” (hidden folder) under my own directory.\n
    \"\"<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  2. Create a script similar to the followingg, and place it under the new directory (in my case .lm_scrpts).
    For a complete reading on how to find the various parameters, refer to my original     post<\/a>\n
    \"\"<\/div>\n
    #!\/bin\/bash \n    \n hidutil property --matching '{\"ProductID\":0x221,\"VendorID\":0x5ac}' --set '{\"UserKeyMapping\":[{\"HIDKeyboardModifierMappingSrc\":0x700000063,\"HIDKeyboardModifierMappingDst\":0x700000037}]}'<\/pre>\n<\/li>\n
  3. Give the script executable permissions 
    chmod +x remapping.keys.sh<\/b>\n
    \"\"<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  4. Create with your favourite editor a new .plist file. I called it com.remapping.keys.plist<\/b> 
    As shown below\n
    <?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>\n<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC \"-\/\/Apple\/\/DTD PLIST 1.0\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.apple.com\/DTDs\/PropertyList-1.0.dtd\">\n<plist version=\"1.0\">\n    <dict>\n        <key>Label<\/key>\n        <string>com.remapping.keys.app<\/string>\n        <key>Program<\/key>\n        <string>\/Users\/name\/.lm_scripts\/remapping.keys.sh<\/string>\n        <key>RunAtLoad<\/key>\n        <true\/>\n    <\/dict>\n<\/plist><\/pre>\n
    Note that, the program string above must reflect your user and the path where the script remapping.keys.sh<\/b> is present.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
  5. Then, place the file, in my case com.remapping.keys.plist<\/b> (just created) under the following directory ~\/Library\/LaunchAgents\/<\/b>\n
    \"\"<\/a><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    Now, at your next login the keys of the keyboard keys will be re-mapped as desired.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
